Description
Monoacylglycerols (MAGs) of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids have diverse physiological and health effects. In particular, MAGs containing docosahexaenoic acid or eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; ) have anti-proliferative properties against colon and lung cancer cell lines. Eicosapentaenoyl 1-propanol-2-amide is an EPA-containing MAG amide analog that inhibits the growth of human lung carcinoma A549 cells, producing 98.4% growth inhibition when applied at 3 μM. It is an analog of eicosapentaenoyl ethanolamide (Item No. 10964), a natural N-acylethanolamide that impacts aging and inflammation.
